xGrid (mac) Question

Recommended Posts

I have my home iMac set up as an xGrid agent for a dude at Stanford that is doing some scientific work. It was very easy to join his group.

I was just reading this article on the new features of Tiger (10.4).

Do any of the Mac people out there know if the version of xGrid that will be coming out with the release of Tiger can be used by small workgroups for computationally intensive tasks?

In particular, I am wondering if I will be able to attach my work iBook to my home iMac and have the rendering of DVDs done by two computers instead of just one....or even take my iMac to work and have all the Macs in the office work on the rendering. Anybody out there have any idea?
